Monthly rental cost up 9% since last summer<\/p><\/div>\n

In the first six months of 2024, Spain has seen continuous growth in the costs of rental housing.<\/strong> The second quarter closed with an increase of 2.3%, and a year-on-year increase of 9%. This brings the average price per square metre, per month, to 12.65 euros<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“Rental prices continue to rise sharply and at a significant rate, mainly due to the imbalance between supply and demand. Currently, demand is intense with growth projections and the available supply is gradually shrinking. The problem is getting bigger and bigger. To stop this tightening, more rental housing is needed through promotion, promoting the rehabilitation and transfer of housing, reinforcing legal security and regulatory certainty and creating a territorial policy of decentralization of opportunities so that demand is not only concentrated in the large urban centers,” explained Mar\u00eda Mator, spokeperson for Fotocasa<\/a>.<\/p>\n
